"Best Day Ever" (hull #1095) was built for William Caleb Loring, an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. After passing through the hands of several owners, she was donated to the Herreshoff Marine Museum (HMM) under the name of "Pooka". In 2014 when HMM was downsized their fleet, "Best Day Ever" was purchased by Jeff Digel. Jeff brought her to his family’s 1000 Islands property so she could be enjoyed on the St. Lawrence River. After Jeff passed away, his family donated "Best Day Ever" to the Antique Boat Museum so she could be enjoyed by the Museum’s many visitors. Alongside "Silhouette", "Best Day Ever" can be seen underway during the sailing demos at the Boat Show and at our Free Tuesday Night Community Sailing & Rowing sessions.Acquisition
